Tell me.

What is a "meme"? What manner of thing is a "shitpost"?

As has been stated, the former is a concept that spreads across a group, society, or subculture, often a joke or joke format. Computer people know the answer.

The latter is a ridiculous statement made for humour and/or irritation. I think so, anyway. The word is much newer in comparison. I asked someone who had been displaced from time in a sense and was met with the response, "So like nightblogging?" I know not, though, as it is not exclusive to night.

What is blogging, then?

Similar to diary-keeping, but public, much like the intranet here. Though usually on the worldwide internet instead.

The very idea seems contrary to its origins.

I suppose some people wish to share the details of their lives.

Why?

For one, most people do not have secrets to keep as we do... others just like the social aspect.

Humanity has gotten strange over the years.

Humanity has been the same throughout history in some ways, has it not?

I missed a few centuries.

I see. What manner of being are you, might I ask?

Why do you want to know?

Perhaps that was rude; I apologize. It simply seems that a great many people require help with the modern world as of late.

Such is the way of things. These are curious times.

When the world is saved and restored to peace, perhaps normalcy in some sense will follow.

I am not so sure such a thing is possible.

Surely it is; it is our mission and our purpose to save all creation, after all.

You fancy yourself a hero, do you?

Better to accept the fate of a hero than to reject it waiting for another to do it for you, or to lament that no one will.

[Wow.]

Saying yes would have taken less words.

It would have sounded conceited, though! I'm going for duty-bound and committed to protect the world.

Saying such a thing now still makes you sound conceited.

No, it doesn't! The world needs people to save it, and that is why we are here. For many of us, why we exist!

Believe what you must, but there are very few ways believing yourself to be a savior that don't make you seem self-centered.

Oh, do you think me the only one who wants to save the world, or the only one tasked with protecting it?
